有一点点剧透预警)
下面的文字我实在不知道如何用中文表达,so please do put up with me :)
one thing that’s bothering me: you can feel John Green himself speaking at the end of the book. I don’t know how to make of that, because on the one hand, it’s nice and feels very personal, like he’s really trying to let the readers understand that simple fact (life goes on) and at the mean time reminding himself of that simple fact again; on the other hand, it ruins the entirety of the story for me a bit, with the older Aza (I assume) stepping in and talking about her life post-16. Because even though I can see that all the things she said would be happening, but still, it wasn’t necessary and it somehow forbids the room for imagination. Also it seemed a bit rushed. I don’t know how everyone else feel about that...?
Agreed. But remember this is YA and I assume you a bit older to be considered a young adult ;-) it kind of harkens back to how Daisy’s fan fiction ended: everyone was hurt but no one injured. And as you said, life goes on. But still, I’d rather it ended less “preachy” if you know what I mean.
I totally understand and feel the same way. But those words are probably not meant for us anyways.你的名字很有意思😂
The book is the result of Aza’s writing therapy. At some point she mentioned that her psychiatrist recommended writing down her feelings in order to reduce anxiety. It is the older Aza writing and reflecting on her childhood (though she took on the younger girl’s narrative voice), so she (as the writer and adult) knew where her story would head to. To me the ending suggests she found peace with herself as she grew up and maybe the writing helped
